Saturday 16th July - Tournament Day

Today was an amazing experience. All the teams efforts during the week culminated in a final Tag Rugby Tournament today.
It was held at a local school and the organisation began at 7am when a small party went over to mark the pitches.
All the Welling Team were given roles for the day:-
Team Managers:- Grant Godbold - Mount Mukulu
                                Charlie Ashby - Mount Mukulu
                                Joe Woollard - St Patricks
                                Hannah Beresford - St Patricks
                                Peter Huxstep - Zocs
                                Harry Young - Zocs
                                James Asbury - Referee
                                George Burke - Tournament Manager
                                Abi Granger - Tournament Manager
                                Rebecca Bushell - Organiser
It was the most memorable day. Lots of supporters, fantastic Tag Rugby, and very emotional 'goodbyes' at the end.
Everybody can be really proud of these Welling students. They have changed the lives of many Zambian children, who will never forget this extraordinary week, and day.
It was Grant Godbolds team that were overall winners after a pulsating final. To say that he was overjoyed at winning is an undestatement.
It is very difficult to describe the effect of the Tournament so we will let the pictures do the talking today.
Tonight, we are having a well earned celebratory BBQ. Tomorrow morning, we head off to new adventures in Livingtone.
Watch this space!
Apologies, but we seem to be having problems with the Internet in Africa tonight. As soon as we can, we will post some amazing photos of what the Welling Team have achieved and the legacy they will leave with some of the poorest pupils in Zambia.
Please check to see if we have been successful!
